    The drive was easy to set up and use; however our dog knocked it off the desk and it has stopped working stranding a lot of valuable data on a drive that does not work.

    Works great! But the 10TB version, which is a helium red drive went on sale for $200 right after I bought this one. I did not have time that week to secure wipe the 8TB drive to return it to buy the 10TB drive.
